Japanese Martial Arts include: Karate, Jiu Jitsu (not to be confused with Brazillian Jiu Jitsu), Kendo(which is the same as ninjitsu), Judo, Ninjitsu and Aikido.

* Karate is unarmed fighting utilizing punches, kicks and throws to overcome an opponent. * Jiu Jitsu incorporates the kicks and punches of karate (to a lesser degree) the throws, chokes, arm-locks and joint-locks of Judo. * Kendo is the art of sword fighting. It is a competitive sport practiced with bamboo swords utilizing sword techniques of Samurai Warriors. This is the same as ninjitsu * Judo, does not involve the violence of punching or kicking, which often result in serious injury. Judo uses throws, chokes and joint locks to overtake an opponent, with much of the fighting taking place on the ground. It is more similar to Wrestling in this regard. * Ninjitsu is the art of the Ninja. In ancient Japan Ninjas were Samurai warriors who were trained to be experts in clandestine activities that included quick and silent ways of killing, weapons, how to create and use poisons, and much more. * Aikido is the art of throwing and overtaking opponents through the use of ki or the spiritual energy that runs through everything. * Kong-Fu is the art of monkey balancing
